Hi everyone, I’m interested in learning more about the NIBD research department—especially its role in clinical training and scientific innovation within hematology and bone marrow transplantation. I’ve come across programs at the National Institute of Blood Diseases (NIBD) in Karachi that combine postgraduate training with active research opportunities, including advanced diagnostics like genomics, cytogenetics, and molecular medicine. I’d love to hear from anyone familiar with this research ecosystem—what’s it like working under leadership such as Prof. Dr. Nida Anwar, the Head of Research, or participating in projects at their Molecular Medicine Centre? How accessible are research mentors, what kind of interdisciplinary collaboration is available, and how well do these experience-rich opportunities prepare you for both clinical practice and future academic pursuits? If you’ve been part of NIBD’s research or training programs—either as a trainee, researcher, or faculty member—please share your insights.
